The wedding of Alix Madsen and Jared Montgomery is a glorious affair at an elegant little chapel in the woods, followed by dinner and dancing, all while moonlight blankets the festivities in a romantic glow. While most guests are fixed on the happy couple, Jared’s cousin Graydon can’t look away from a bridesmaid, Toby Wyndam. It’s not just her quiet beauty that enthralls him or the way she makes him laugh. Toby possesses the truly remarkable ability of being able to distinguish Graydon from his identical twin brother, Rory. According to family legend, such a gift marks her as Graydon’s True Love.

But Graydon knows there is no possible way that they can ever be together, for he is heir to the Lanconian throne and is to marry a noble woman who has been chosen for him. Yet, intrigued by Toby, he asks her to help him hide on Nantuck for a week away from regal responsibilities. In exchange, he’ll assist her with planning acclaimed novelist Victoria Madsen’s lavish wedding. Since they both know their union is impossible, the pair promises that they will never be more than just friends.

But there’s more going on between Graydon and Toby than her unique power to tell him apart from his twin. At work are forces beyond their control, which are ruled by time itself. Combine that with the magical island of Nantucket, and a seductive spell is cast over Graydon and Toby. If they are to be together, they must change what once was, as well as what will be.

I've been having slumps of all kinds except for traveling LOL! So, a change of genre is required to get me out of a reading slump so back to my comfort genre, romance. 

For All Time is book 2 of the Nantucket Brides. I have not read the first one and similarly like other romance series, it can be read as a standalone. This book is about Toby, a virgin and still looking for Mr. Right to sweep her off the floor, and Graydon, the proper prince in training betrothed to a noble woman, Danna. They are aware of the consequences as such tried very hard to be platonic. However, events happened out of their hands, and they became much closer that everyone knows Toby will be left heartbroken when Graydon finally leaves Nantucket and goes back to his country, Lanconia. 

When I started reading it, I kept thinking of those Diva channel's kinda romance and I thought of Anne Hathaway's The Princess Diaries. Of course, this one is the opposite where we have a prince instead of a queen or princess. Added with a little time travel, it did make the book more entertaining to read even though I know what to expect at the end. 

Overall, it has the standard romance formula (sappy + hardheaded + unknowingly falling in love) that when it ended happily ever after, I felt satisfied with it and I could continue to read another book LOL! If you are looking for a light and feel-good romance read, you can never go wrong with Jude Deveraux.

Time has no meaning. 

Love will endure.
